Cosmo-s VS Heart-L - War in the Eateries

i've been having heartlander-ish impulses of late. 6am on the bus and i see the nearest kopitiam-in-pasar-rolled-in-one thronged with people in varying PJ-like attire - shorts, singlets and what-not, and i am tempted to go join them and plant my butt down to whiff that lil bit of tau hwei or wantan mee or whatever it is that they have for breakfast and perhaps, be bold n make friends with the market-dwellers, like i used to when i was younger - pretty helpful, considering that i made sure they gave me the best price for eggs, vege, fruits. now we just flock to supermarkets. as we morph into cosmo-polites (in all sense of the word;newly-coined), human interaction becomes minimal. the gap between heartlanders and cosmopolitans widen - with the Cosmo-s privileging their acquired sense of taste, in more ways than one - 'oh, i only eat in/from Kenny Rogers/Lawry's/Coffeebean/Breadtalk/Bakery Depot' and blahbleahlehhhh

therefore, i have decided to take action - and to prove that i will stand in the gap and sustain that dying bond between the Heart-L and Cosmo-s, i will, in all capacity, try to;

1)have kopitiam food/NUS food/fast food(fast foods merge the gap b/w the two)/home-cooked food/food-court food only and refrain from high-culture food. ie: crystal jade, marmalade pantry, thai express, NYDC etc.

2)will refrain from (oh how my heart breaks!) Starbucks - coffee/mocha only from NUS' vending machines, kopitiam 70 cents coffee etc.

3) will not buy cakes from Prima Deli/Starbucks/CoffeeBean/Breadtalk - but will attempt to be the neighbourhood's confectionary shop's best customer - knowing that i won't be able to stay away from cakes/savoury bread.

all in all, my dear friends, do not tempt me with a dinner date in town, or, a bonding session in Starbucks - till end of mth.
